Yes, I wonder how it's done too. I love linux, trying rh 8 but haven't gotten it to speak yet. I wish I could run win-98 under linux, my 98 is so unstable right now it should be formatted, but the lack of, um, sighted assistance (the one thing blind computer users usually despise) is hard to come by. Any way I could reinstall 98 without it, I'd be interested. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darrell Shandrow" <nu7i@azboss.net> To: <blinux-list@redhat.com> Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 11:15 AM Subject: Re: [OT] Blinux dd command to copy key disks > Hi Lee, > > Well, hmmm...
